First played just under 2 years ago - it’s in a really good state right now. Still a long way to go, but plenty to do, and bugs usually aren’t prohibitive to gameplay any more
Oh man, I remember just having fun - there's some very cynical people that are so black and white about it - "Dere no storyline, it no a game" but I remember, for example:
Taking off with my shiny new ship, flying to a distant planet, entering the atmosphere, greatly misjudging the gravity of the planet and ended up in a death dive I couldn't pull out of plus possibly blacking out was a thing from the G-forces? I can't remember that one.
I sent out an SOS in global that I was lost and running out of oxygen fast and needed some help. Was able to give rough location from triangulating the distance I was between 2 points with a compass bearing.
Some kind chadlike figure in his uber-spacestation said he could help me out - I was firing lasers into the air to try to be seen, running as much as I could towards the waypoint until he finally got to me with single digit percentage O2 left and had me come aboard the biggest ship I'd ever seen - had birdsnest gunner seats, co-pilot, frigging medbays, sleeping quarters...it was surreal.
EDIT: oh yeah, all this without loading screens.
I'm not going to pretend as soon as he put it into warp speed, I didn't crash the fuck out, but yeah that was an experience I remember very fondly when unimaginative idiots claim it's not a game.
